Within the magazine’s pages, Coco not only
guest-edits the issue but shares fun anecdotes and lessons she’s learned from the fashion industry over the years. The model and activist is only 26 years old, but she’s a bona fide veteran in this business, having signed her first modelling contract at age 15.

Her top tip for aspiring models? Know yourself. “I remember at 15 being told point-blank by an agent that
in order to “make it” as a model
I’d have to shoot nude, even though it was against my principles,” she says. “That never sat well with me.”

To this day, Coco, who was raised in British Colombia by Christian parents,
will not pose nude, semi–nude or with cigarettes, and reserves the right to say no to any shoot she’s uncomfortable with.
